With their statement in in Game 5, the Miami Heat have made it clear that the NBA Finals is not going to be a cakewalk for the Los Angeles Lakers. However, LeBron James responded by getting in his bag early on for Game 6.

James navigated through multiple Heat defenders before a spectacular left-handed finish.

Despite the scrappy defense from the Heat throughout the series, they have not had much of an answer for the Lakers' pairing of LeBron James and Anthony Davis. Of course, plays like these are only further proof of the matchup problem that the Purple and Gold duo create for any team in the NBA.

Heading into Game 6, James and Anthony Davis were averaging a combined 56.4 points, 21.2 rebounds and 11.5 assists per game.
